“The Old Testament prophecies claiming the Messiah would be the Prince of Peace were referring to peace with God through the new covenant of peace. Through this covenant, the Messiah would justify sinners through His sacrifice as the guilt offering of God.”

“Why have wars, famines, and human suffering only increased since Jesus came?”

“There was no Jewish expectation in the first century that the Messiah would be some great miracle worker, so all of Jesus’ alleged miracles were of no interest to the first century Jewish leaders and they are no interest to me.”

“The New Testament misquotes and misinterprets the Old Testament. At times it manufactures verses to suit its purposes.”

“According to Matthew 2:15, when the little boy Jesus, along with Joseph and Mary, fled to Egypt to escape from Herod, this “fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: ‘Out of Egypt I called my son.’” But Matthew only quoted the second half of the verse in Hosea. What the prophet really said was this: “When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.” The verse has to do with Israel, not Jesus, and it is recounting a historical event, not giving a prophecy. And you claim that Matthew was inspired. Hardly!”

“Matthew 2:23 says that when Jesus moved to the town of Nazareth, this “fulfilled what was said through the prophets: ‘He will be called a Nazarene.’” There’s only one problem. The prophets never said this! Matthew actually made it up.”

“Matthew 27:910 is totally confused. First Matthew quotes part of a prophecy from Zechariah, then he says it comes from Jeremiah, and then he takes the whole thing totally out of context. What a mess!”

“Jews don’t believe in the Trinity. We believe in one God, not three.”

“If you claim that Jesus is God then you are guilty of making God into a man. You are an idol worshiper!”

“God doesn’t have a son.”

“According to the Law (Deuteronomy 13), Jesus was a false prophet because he taught us to follow other gods (namely, the Trinity, including the god Jesus), gods our fathers have never known or worshiped. This makes all his miracles utterly meaningless.”

“Is it any wonder, then, that the Jews have endured such rampant and persistent anti-Semitism over the millennia and around the world after God explicitly warned them (over and over and over again, for centuries) that He would allow exactly what *has* occurred *to* occur if they did reject Him?“
